The three new members are: Andrea Califano, professor of chemical systems biology at Columbia University, New York, US; Arnold Levine, professor emeritus of systems biology at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, US; and Aviv Regev, associate professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, US.

'As pioneers in their fields of study, Andrea, Arnold and Aviv are strong additions to our Scientific Advisory Board,' said Marc Casper, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher. 'They bring a depth of understanding from the academic and research communities that will help inform our strategies for advancing our customers’ work in computational and systems biology, genomics and cancer research.'
